National Days for September

It’s the beginning of Fall. The leaves are changing and there are many ideas for celebrating National US Holidays for September that can be celebrated with kids. Here are some fun ideas for each holiday:

Labor Day (first Monday in September): Celebrate the contributions of workers. You can have a picnic or barbecue with family and friends.

International Literacy Day (September 8th): Encourage kids to read by having a family reading night. Let them choose their favorite books, get into your pj’s, get out the blankets, and make it a cozy and fun experience.

Grandparents Day (second Sunday in September): Show appreciation for grandparents by making them homemade cards, baking them a special treat, or spending time doing a favorite activity together.

Patriot Day (September 11th): Educate children about the significance of this day and honor those who lost their lives by making a patriotic craft, flying an American flag, or writing a thank you letter to a first responder.

National Cheeseburger Day (September 18th): Make homemade cheeseburgers with the kids and let them choose their favorite toppings. It’s a great opportunity to teach them about healthy eating and cooking skills.

National Punctuation Day (September 24th): Play punctuation games with the kids, such as making a sentence without punctuation and asking them to add the correct punctuation.

Johnny Appleseed Day (September 26th): It is always fun to teach the children in your classroom about Johnny Appleseed. I like to dress up, you can see my outfit here.

I enjoy doing God's work from the church basement where I have been a preschool teacher for the last 18 years. My husband and I have two newly grown and flown children. Our son just graduated college and is working his dream job and my daughter just got married and is in her first year teaching preschool at our church. It is a joy to see her everyday at work.
